    Now, I’m going to go out on a limb here, and say that christianity must be divided into european and middle eastern content. And that, with Chivalry, the middle eastern content is irrelevant, and would best be abandoned.

    ARISTOCRACY gave us:

    ——————-

    Private Property

    Individualism

    Heroism (sacrifice for the greater good)

    The purpose of man is to bend nature to his will.

    Objective Truth

    Reason

    History

    Science

    Mathematics

    Enfranchisement

    Civic Duty

    Politics

    Houses of Classes

    ANGLO SAXONS GAVE US

    ———————–

    Poetry, Riddle, Pagan Mythology, Worship of Land and Nature

    The Common Law

    CHRISTIANITY gave us:

    ——————-

    Legitimate Laws (natural rights)

    Property Rights for Women

    Mandatory Outbreeding (universalism)

    Chivalry (Heroism in service rather than defense or conquest)

    PROTESTANTISM gave us:

    CLOWN: EVIDENCE OF A STATE RELIGION?

    Now, we have a long history of ridiculing our officials. I have spent halloween dressed as both Reagan and Clinton – neither of them very charitable representations.

    So a clown gets up and plays the president. Or Hollywood puts out a discrediting film using prominent left wing actors about Reagan or the iron lady.

    We burn effigies of Bush, and copies of the flag.

    Funny enough that the progressive reaction to a clown wearing an Obama mask at a rodeo produces the same intensity of reaction that a cartoon of mohammed did from fundamentalist muslims.

    American libertarians and conservatives must understand that the philosophical framework we call postmodernism, is a FUNDAMENTALIST religion far more dangerous than islam. Far more dangerous than socialism or communism.

    Christianity had churches against the nobility. Communism had the state against the nobility and the capitalists. Socialism had universities and argued that it was a science – until it was demonstrated in theory and practice that it was not.

    But universities did not give up upon the failure of their new religion. They invented postmodernism.

    We see postmodernism as political correctness. As feminism that did not grant equal rights, but extraordinary privileged. As absurd liberal logic: Equality as a fact rather than a necessity of just law. Diversity as a good rather than a temporary tolerance until people assimilate . Merit as an obscurity for invisible inexplicable but assumed corruption. Support for the unfortunate as an obligation to subsidize poor judgement.

    That the separation of church and state must equally apply to universities and their religion of postmodernism, as it did to our cathedrals and christianity.

    Universities, like advertising agencies and consumer brands have the incentives to mislead people, whether customers or citizens. To sell them lies, dreams and fantasies. And since they are unaccountable there is

    WHY THE RELIGION OF THE STATE: POSTMODERNISM?

    Family structure + literacy + godlessness = political ideology

    1) Family systems and agrarian systems

    2) Modernization phases (literacy, industrialization, dechristianization, contraception)

    3) Ideology (nationalism, socialism, religious conservatism)

    -Emmanuel Todd (France)

    The state suppresses christianity in order to replace it with postmodernism (state socialism). That is why it is OK to criticize christianity, and white people, but no one else. 🙂

  • Where Do Atheists Believe The Bible Came From?

    GOOD ANSWERS HERE, SO I’LL ADD ONE POINT OTHERS SEEM TO MISS

    It is a collection of children’s and campfire stories from an era of profound poverty, ignorance and violence, and most of the new testament was an attempt to rebel against the roman empire the same way that the primitive world attempted to adopt the scripture of Marxism, and the same way that the modern world is attempting to adopt the scripture of Postmodernism as a reaction to science and economics.

    The fascinating part of all this is that the ten commandments are a pretty good system of property rights upon which you can start to build a complex civilization on individual rather than familial or tribal property rights – which were necessary for land holders, but not for migratory peoples.

    This difference in jewish and christian ethics persist today: the land holders and the traders still have different ethical principles and this manifests itself in our voting for different parties with different moral codes.

  • What Is The Definition Of Religion?

    Starting with the minimal to the maximal:
    Level 1) Myth and Ritual
    Level 2) Myth, Ritual, and Promise
    Level 3) Myth, Ritual, Promise, Falsehood
    Level 4) Myth, Ritual, Promise, Falsehood, Dogma
    Level 5) Myth, Ritual, Promise, Falsehood, Dogma, Formal Institution
    Level 6) Myth, Ritual, Promise, Falsehood, Dogma, Formal Institution, Political Influence
    Level 7) Myth, Ritual, Promise, Falsehood, Dogma, Formal Institution, Political Influence, Military Projection of Influence – conquest.

    POSTMODERN DEMOCRATIC SECULARISM IS IN FACT, A RELIGION.
    The fact that we WANT equality to be true, and diversity to be a good, and equality of outcome, is very different from whether it’s possible. Postmodernism has replaced the promise of eternal life with the promise of equality. Neither of which are any more possible than the other.

    We can also argue that scientism is a religion, but that’s too much for this forum. 🙂

  • What Is Post-modernism?

    POSTMODERNISM IS AN ATTEMPT TO RECONSTRUCT TOTALITARIANISM DESPITE THE FAILURE OF SOCIALISM IN THEORY AND PRACTICE BY PROMOTING A NEW SECULAR RELIGION THROUGH REPETITION OF DESIRABLE BUT FALSE AND IRRATIONAL STATEMENTS AND REJECTING REALISM, SCIENCE AND HISTORY – THE PROMISE OF EQUALITY AS THE EQUIVALENT TO THE PROMISE OF LIFE AFTER DEATH.

    Postmodernism is a sophisticated set of ideas constructed to account for the failure of Socialism, both ideological and ‘scientific’ in theory and in practice, by changing the  values associated with the language and symbolism of realism (truth is objectively knowable by scientific means) and the nature of man (equality, diversity), and morality ( moral relativism).

    The same Left that traditionally promoted reason, science, optimism and equality for all – has now switched to themes of anti-reason, anti-science, double standards, and cynicism  But why? Because with the failure of socialism it has adopted the strategy of abrahamic and zoroastrian religions which involves reciting blatant falsehoods in by repetition, peer pressure and indoctrination: that multiculturalism and diversity are ‘good’, and that equality of outcome rather than opportunity is desirable and possible, despite the contrary theory and evidence. That norms – morals, ethics, and manners – have no meaning or value. That all cultures are relative except european, which is bad.  That men and women are equal, but men are bad.

    This ideology, like Marxism, is present largely in liberal arts departments, despite being rejected by STEM and Economics departments where science retains it’s superiority over anti-realism (and where IQ’s are significantly higher.)

    Thorough attempts have been made by Heidegger and Rorty in particular, to attempt to create a non-rational language for discussing experience in subjective terms, rather than objective.

    However, despite the failure of these intellectual endeavors, ideological Postmodernism has in fact been adopted as the religion of the state, left intellectuals, and liberal arts graduates at all levels.

    However, genetic science, neurobiology, anthropology, and economics continue to counter ideological postmodernism with scientific realism with scholars in each field continuing to undermine these attempts to construct a secular religion of anti-scientific irrationality without the burden of mysticism.

    The best way to explain postmodernism today, is the philosophical equivalent of christianity as was used against Roman pragmatism: the promise of magic to motivate the masses.

  • REASON AND FACT ARE INSUFFICIENT FOR PERSUASION: BECAUSE MYTH, MYSTICISM, AND FA

    REASON AND FACT ARE INSUFFICIENT FOR PERSUASION: BECAUSE MYTH, MYSTICISM, AND FALSEHOOD ARE MORE COMFORTABLE TRUTHS.

    (Profound)

    We can learn from history that allegorical mythology was converted to factual description by taking advantage of the desire for certainty, and inventing the scriptural religions – despite the obervable and logical contradiction of mystical statements with reality of experience.

    We can observe the continuing human desire for marxism, communism, socialism and redistributive social democracy despite its irrefutable logical impossibility, despite its universal failure, and despite our scientific knowledge of human behavior.

    We can observe that humans desire to believe the many contradictory falsehoods in Postmodern thought that form the current progressive ideology, and which is taught in our schools as the civic religion of the state.

    None if this should give us confidence that reason and fact will prevail, or that people desire reason and fact. Evidence is to the contrary.

    Progressivism, freudianism, postmodernism, and marxism are – as Hayek warned us – a new mysticism ushered in by Marx (1848) and Freud (1902AD), just as Zoroaster (~1800BC), Abraham (~1800BC), Jesus, Peter and Paul (<~50BC) ushered in ages of mysticism for political purposes.

    And we are, thanks to them, and thanks to human desires, despite our progress in the physical sciences, living in an age of regressive, pervasive, social mysticism.

    That is the evidence.

    Hayek suggested that future generations would see this as an age of mysticism. But there is little evidence of that in history. Instead, generations are perfectly happy to persist the social narrative and the scientific and economic narrative as if they were independent frames of reference for describing human history.

    Property, truth, and reason are aristocratic values and virtues, and their dominance in any culture the result of the organized application of violence by aristocrats to protect themselves from the ignorance, mysticism, and desires of the many.

    That humans benefit from aristocratic virtues and values is evidentiary. That they will voluntarily adopt aristocratic virtues and values is contrary to all evidence.

    And membership in aristocratic rationalism REQUIRES that we observe and respect that evidence.

    If you persist in the illusion that either the enlightenment vision of equality of ability limited only by will, or the postmodern vision of equality limited only by environment, then you are, in fact, non-rational, unscientific.

    Reason, property rights, and aristocratic virtues and values will exist only where a minority is willing to use violence to impose them on an unwilling population more desirous of mysticism and mental comfort than objective truth.

    Violence is the highest virtue, and the greatest asset one can possess. Everything else is just rhetorical justification to obtain property rights at a discount. And that is not aristocratic: it is fraud.
